wickedpenguin Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 EveryDayFiction.com just published a new 1000 word short story I wrote, set during the Siege of Leningrad. It's probably my darkest story yet. Many people here seem to be Russian history buffs, so I figured some here may appreciate it given its historical setting. Click to read: "Day 483" Hope you guys like it. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE_Mikemonster Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Very professionally written, not a particularly 'nice' story though.. lol Not sure if you're into dark storywriting or that was just a test peice, but this reminds me of studying the early years of the Bolshevik 'revolution'. Plenty of subjects for horror there, especially so in the context of cannibalism in major cities.. Too many cowboys. Not enough indians.

Boulund Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Almost a bit like Clive Barker imho. I liked it, you made a great presentation and the finale is great and discrete, despite being quite obvious and painting.

This is one of the few that's pure historical fiction. I'd never heard of those instances during the Bolshevik revolution. I just looked up some information on the famine from 1920-21. Quite interesting - and disturbing. Learn something new everyday. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
